Dr. Lopez invites you to have a consultation to discuss how a non-surgical approach can enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. Santa Ana Skin Care Clinic uses the following dermal fillers and injectables:

BOTOX® Cosmetics can erase dynamic facial wrinkles without surgery. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by the overuse of some muscles of facial expression, and appear as crow's feet at the corners of the eyes, furrows in the brow, or creases on the bridge of the nose. A simple injection of this medication safely relaxes these muscles and dramatically eliminates crow's feet, worry and smile lines. A remarkable transformation may be seen within a few days following treatment as lines vanish. Results are a more rested, youthful appearance that can last four to six months before requiring a touch-up. Sometimes persistent tension headaches are relieved as the muscles relax. Both men and women can enjoy the benefits of this painless, low-risk treatment that takes only a few minutes in the doctor's office.

 

Prescription Dysport® is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face.  The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.  Dysport® is a formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvement in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments.  So, the effect of repeat treatment with Dysport® may be comparable to your first use.  With just one injection into each of five points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport® blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.  You should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every ninety days.

 

Restylane® is a safe and natural cosmetic dermal filler that restores volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. Restylane® is the first and only cosmetic dermal filler made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid. (Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin). Because Restylane® is non-animal-based and fully biocompatible, allergy testing is not required as risk of animal based disease transmission or allergic reaction is removed.

 

The benefit of Restylane® -vs- Collagen is the longer lasting effectiveness of the Restylane ®, which will last between 6 to 9 months only requiring scheduling of twice a year. To learn more call Dr. Lopez and set up a consultation today!

 

Perlane®

Radiesse™ is an injectable filler that offers a non-surgical approach to shaping and contouring the face reversing the common signs of aging or addressing a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment. Aging, fat loss, and the pull of gravity, eventually create noticeable changes in the area under the eyes, along the cheekbone, and down to the base of the jaw. That's where Radiesse™ can help. Touted as a superior filler by physicians and patients alike, Radiesse™ unique composition provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse™ is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body's own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse™ the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring - along with other therapeutic applications.

 

Radiesse™ can be used for:

 

    * Chin augmentation

JUVÉDERM®  Ultra Plus XC is the latest dermal filler advance from Allergan Inc. This "next generation" smooth gel, is a non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results for up to six months or longer. The XC refers to Extra Comfort since it contains the numbing agent, Lidocaine. JUVÉDERM®  Ultra Plus XC is longer lasting because it's the only dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid and uses a special formulation process. This process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, creating a smooth, natural look. Other dermal fillers use a gel particle suspension formulation. These gel particles can be visibly seen under the skins surface.

 

Hyaluronic acid is a natural occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. JUVÉDERM® injectable gel will help smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing, and the results last about six months.  Santa Ana Skin Care can also provide treatments using JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, which does not have Lidocane, by patient request when the appointment is made.

Temporary injectable wrinkle fillers are made of different kinds of natural or synthetic materials that are broken down and eventually absorbed by your body. As a result, wrinkle correction is only temporary and you may need repeat injections several months after the initial treatment to maintain your wrinkle correction.  Artefill® is different. The unique microspheres are not absorbed by your body and work with your skin to produce collagen which provides the support your skin needs for natural, long lasting results.

Artefill® is the Long Lasting Solution for Wrinkle Correction. With Artefill®:

• treatments improve over the course of several months and stand the test of time.
• has an excellent safety profile.
• treatments are completed during a simple, in-office procedure.
• provides immediate results for wrinkle correction allowing you to return to your normal daily activities.

Artefill® requires a skin test to determine if the patient has any allergies to the treatment.  There is also three week period of self-observation that the patient must undergo after taking this skin test before the treatment can be scheduled, so plan accordingly.  Get the confidence you deserve with Artefill® Injectable Wrinkle Filler.
